General Systems
This is the main source of cooling in traditional GA powerplants.
What is air cooling?
The wings of the 172 are located in this configuration.
What is high wing?
There are 3 main gyroscopic instruments.
What is the turn coordinator, directional gyro, and attitude indicator
There are 3 main pitot static instruments.
What is the airspeed indicator, altimeter, and vertical speed indicator
We experience this many turning tendencies on takeoff.
What is 4?
What is gravity?
A Cessna has this type of landing gear.
A gyroscope works on two principles.
What is rigidity in space and gyroscopic procession?
This device allows the VSI internal pressure to equalize.
What is calibrated leak?
This turning tendency is based on Newtons 3rd law of motion.
What is torque?
The vacuum pump gets it's power from this source.
What is the engine?
This Engine is found in the Cessna 172 R model
What is IO-360-L2A?
The attitude indicators gyro sits in this orientation.
What is horizontal plane?
This instrument uses both the pitot tube and the static port.
What is the airspeed indicator?
This tendency causes a rolling motion.
What is torque?
This allows large amounts of electrical power to be shut off at once.
What is a bus?
The Cessna 172R can hold this many gallons of usable fuel.
What is 53 gallons?
This is the reason that the heading indicator needs to be reset frequently during flight.
What is procession?
What is an aneroid wafer?
This turning tendency is characterized by the yawing motion to the right in a climb.
What is gyroscopic precession?
This device allows the spark plugs to continue firing without electrical power.
What is a magneto?
The 172 has this type of stability.
What is positive static and positive dynamic?
This gyroscopic instrument is not powered by the vacuum pump.
What is the turn coordinater
The RAM air hole of the pitot tube is blocked and it will cause this instrument to read like an altimeter.
What is the airspeed indicator?
This tendency is caused by the speed difference between the descending and ascending blade into the relative wind.
What is asymmetric thrust?
